CALENDAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 229,578, dated July 6, 1880.

Application filed March 23, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom @t may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT It. BAKER, of Indianapolis, in the county ofMarion and State of Indiana,have invented a new and usei'ulCalendar, of which the followingisa specication.

My invention relates to improvements in calendars in which four Ahorizontal rollers and two vertical rollers operate in conjunction with the frame and their respective calendars; and the object of my invention is to provide a device for the proper adjustment of each calendar independently of each other, for the purpose of showing the name of the month, with the number of days in the month, the year, and the days of the week on which months begin, and the days of a week as they occur in any month. I- attain this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a front view of the machine, and Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same. Fig. 3 isa central longitudinal section of Figs. 1 and 2.

Like letters refer to like parts throughout the several views.

K K K2 K3 represent a square or rectangular frame provided with the cross-bar L and two vertical bars, I? P', all of which are constructed and arranged as shown in Fig. 2.

The upper space of the frame, between the bar L and top K, is provided with two rollers, H above and I below. The upper roller, H, is larger in diameter than the roller I, and one end is provided with a short journal, a, which operates in a bearing .formed in the side K of the frame. The other end of the roller H. is provided with a longer journal, H', which projects through the side K2 of the trame. The roller I is of like construction, with its journals a and H2 operating in bearings formed in the sides K and K2 of the frame.

In the lower space of the frame, near the bottom K3, are also arranged two rollers, O', the roller 0 being smaller than the roller O. Each roller is provided at each end with short journals, which operate in the uprights P P', as shown at a4 a5 a7 a8.

Between the uprights P and K is located a vertical roller, R, the upper end of which is journaled at a2 in the cross-bar Il, and the lower end at as in the lower part, K3, of the frame. Between theuprights l and K2 ofthe frame is another vertical roller, It, its upper end being journaled at a in the cross-bar L, and its lowerjournal, H3, being long enough to project a short dista-nce below the part K3 of the frame, as shown.

On the rollers I and O is placed a belt, D, on one side ot' the front face oi' which is printed the gures representing years, as 1880, and on the other side of the front face are printed the names ol'each month and the day ofthe week on which each month commences, as shown in the drawings. This belt is moved up or down by turningthe proj ectingend Hzof the roller I. Immediately in front 0ll the belt D is another belt, (l, which operates on the rollers H and O. This belt has printed on its face, in regular order, the names of the months in a year, and each month has the number of days in it also printed thereon. This belt C is also raised or lowered outside of the belt D by turning the journal H of the roller H. On the two vertical rollers, It R', is also mounted another belt, F, having a calendar with the numerals printed so that its first row oi' numbers willcommence with 1 and end with 7, its second row commence with 2 and end with 14, its third row commence with 9 and end with 2l, its fourth row com mence with 16 and end with 28, its ifth row commence with 23 and end with 31, and the sixth row commence with 30 and end with 3l. By this arrangement of the figures on the belt F any day ot' a week on which a month may commence may be indicated at the openin G, and all the rest of the days in the month will be exposed to view in their regular order. This belt is operated and moved either to the right or left by turning the journal H3.

The front casing, A, is provided with two openings in its face. The opening B above is like an inverted T, exposing to view the words and figures on the belts D and U, and the opening Gr below to show the figures on the belt F representing the days of the month.

Immediately above the opening \G on the casing Ais arranged a line or" letters, S, M, T,

IV, T, F, S, representing each day ot' the week and corresponding with the numerals on the belt F.

The operation of my improvement is as follows, to wit: Assuming that the year is 1880,

IOO

then the journal H2 is turned until the belt D I day of' the month, the month with its number of days, and the year is brought to view at the openings B and G of the easing A, and may be changed when desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, in a calendar, of the horizontal rollers I O, carrying the belt D, show- 2o ing` the years and 4days of the Week on which lnonths commence, the horizontal rollers H O', having the belt G, With the names of months and number of days in each, the vertical rollers R R', provided with belt F, having a calendar of numerals, and the easing A, provided with openings B G and letters indieatin g the days ofthe Week, all constructed, arranged, and operating as and for the purpose speeiiied.

In testimony Whereofl have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subseribin g witnesses.

ALBERT R. BAKER.
